VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS.--After much wrangling and many plans on the part of the literary societies to secure a course of lectures which would supply the old course, which seems to have died for want of proper support, all plans have failed. The money making scheme on the part of the societies, for a time seemed to be given up. But Orophilians, anxious to meet the payment soon due on its piano, appointed a committee to devise a scheme by which the money could be raised. This committee reported last Friday. The plan proposed seems to us one that will warrant success. A number of Orophilians are to be chosen, who are to give concerts at small towns. Professor McDonald is to drill the participants, and accompany them, taking part in the exercises.
The expenses of the company are to be deducted from the proceeds, and Professor McDonald is to receive one-fifth of the remainder, the balance going to the society. If expenses exceed the profits, the society propose to make it good, and Professor McDonald asks nothing for his assistance.
This plan seems likely to be a success, because it will be seen to that the college spirit is carried with the company as far as possible. This will attract many, for people living at a distance from college, or University, have a curiosity to come in contact with students, and to hear college songs.
Such a plan, or some other from which money can be made, seems necessary; for in our institution all the money students can spare for such purposes is laid out in procuring and furnishing halls for their fraternities.
The society halls of the State Normal are better furnished and better kept than the society halls of the Kansas State University. This I think grows out of the fact that there are no fraternities there, and the money that would be spent in fraternities is thus used in beautifying and taking care of their society halls.
But since we have so many other places to spend our surplus, let us all support the scheme so well arranged by the energetic persons who have charge of it, and thus enable our societies to keep their halls up with the times.
The scheme is one that should be adopted by both societies, and under the guidance of competent managers it will prove a financial success.
EDITOR OF VIEWS:—As an old student I should like to say a word as to the lack of room and general advantages in the present quarters of the library. The room is so small, alcoves so crowded, aisles necessarily so narrow, that the moving about of one person disturbs every person in the room.
Eastern colleges save their separate buildings for library purposes. The city of Topeka has a fine library building on the State capitol grounds. While this is perhaps beyond our reach, more room should be had. If the appropriation for the natural history building is secured perhaps room can be found in this. L.
EXCHANGE.
We would like to receive the Alabama University Monthly, having read so much of its excellence.
The News-Letter has an article on roller skating, in which it says that that practice is almost as bad as dancing. We'll never skate again. (We can't.)
The Atlantis is one of the papers which we like to receive. Its departments are uniformly excellent, and the contents show great care taken by the editors.
The district schools of Kansas cost last year, nearly three and half million dollars. Kansas believes in "a school house on every hill and no saloon in the valley."
We hope that the Wesleyan Bee has run out of its villainous wood cuts. The points to pictures of Jay Gould, Vanderbilt, etc., in a college paper, is exceedingly fine.
The State Superintendent of Public Instruction in California has decided that the Chinese children cannot be admitted to the public schools. However, the Chinese parent is taxed all the same.
Ohio has more universities and colleges than any other state in the Union. Illinois comes second on the list, having 28 institutions of that kind, among which the Wesleyan University ranks second.
The Haverfordian is a good paper, and we are surprised at its statement of only a circulation of five hundred, and some of those gratis. It has a decided manly tone, which we like, and should be better supported.
The fraternity men in the University of Nebraska have been expelled from the literary societies. It was the old story of fraternity ambition, and rule or ruin policy, but the Barbs now have them well under control.
Wabash College has two papers, which to use the description of one by the other, are the Wabash, "an occasional semi-paper," and the Lariat, a semi-occasional paper. If we believe them both, they are both bankrupt.
The Baldwin Index has an "editorial" from Ruskin. The rest of that department is filled up with an essay on the decay of modern art, and the individuality of man. We would hate to try anything like that on in this college.
An elevator was put at Vassar to assist in transferring the young ladies to classes. It was not much used at first, as the dear creatures preferred to slide down the banisters, till a wicked visitor inserted a nail therein, at an angle of forty-five degrees.
We had begun to congratulate ourselves that the foot ball season was over, and the sporting fiend of the eastern papers would let up. But here comes the Swarthmore Phonix with reports of three games. The Phonix, however, is one of our best exes.
J. W. Sponable, of Paola, has given $500 towards a public library in Paola, and now the Republican says: J. W. Sponable has $1,000 which he will donate towards purchasing a piece of land on which to build a hospital. He has also $500 to help pay for a chime of bells for Paola.
